That's awesome! I'm so happy to hear that things have improved. I'm okay, if frazzled by an unrelenting schedule of dog-sitting, cousin-sitting, work, mom-visitation, and whatnot. ;D Haven't lost any weight, but in my doggie duty roster I get to walk at least half a mile to 2 miles every night, so it has to be doing something. Right? Hi, Onjelico! Good to see you around. Hiya! Good to see you!

I've been asked to be the godmother to my baby niece Moira, and she's getting baptized today at 2 p.m. I just realized that I have NO idea what is expected of me. I hold the baby at some point...and what? Do I have to give a speech? What if I have to say her name and I stumble over it? Ack! I know there are other Catholics and usedtobe Catholics on this board...any suggestions?

I was just looking at the Julia-quote in your sig line, and it occurred to me - forget the delete button, I want an undo/do-over button. Alas for might-have-been...

Because if you don't have that, boy will your face be red.

Run, Forrest Misha, Run!! It looks as if he may run to Blaine; his starting point is near the Sumas border crossing. Julia, not awake at all, due to 3am-6:40 (at least) awakitude.

Where I agree, I agree (especially about House but where I disagree, my goodness. Fringe and Human Target, for two. (backwards/random/de-energized) Julia, having TWoP-ed past the first four pills and half the toast and feeling as if I may indeed survive.

Assuming, as I have found true with weddings and funerals, that the prayerbook is, essentially, the prayerbook: mostly what you'll be asked to do is not drop the baby when she screams and answer "I will" after each line of the creed. Julia, missing Sam's godmother like whoa, although she'd be ninety odd now.

I know there are other Catholics and usedtobe Catholics on this board...any suggestions? You may have to hold the baby while the priest pours a bit of water over her forehead. It's been so long since I've attended one of these . . . I can't remember if it's one of the parents, or one of the godparents, who hold her. I think you do have to make a vow, I mean, you have an "I do" or some such thing, to say. You do not have to give a speech. My memory of the duty of the godparent is that you vow to, in the event that the parents both die before the child is raised, see to it that the child is raised in the faith . . . i.e., her spiritual health is in your hands. You aren't agreeing to take her in, or anything like that, and there is no legal obligation of course. On the child's birthday or other such occasions (like confirmation, graduations), you are expected to recognize the child, and basically treat the child as special to you. For example, with my sisters and me, if Aunt X was your godmother, then sure she would remember all the sisters birthdays, but yours would be a touch special. It didn't hurt anyone's feelings because we all had godparents who did the same thing, so we understood that Aunt X gives sis Z a special present, just like Uncle Y always gives me a present that is special.
